Description
Currently, the documentation show insertion examples being done only through individual values:
def insert1(name: String, age: Option[Short]): Update0 =
sql"insert into person (name, age) values ($name, $age)".update
scala> insert1("Alice", Some(12)).run.transact(xa).unsafePerformIO
res2: Int = 1
It seems like it's possible to do insertions using case classes through the Update constructor but according to @tpolecat this is discouraged. This issue is mainly to look into why that is so.
